Have you copied your iTunes library over to your new computer? Either way, you'll need to restore the iPod using the new iTunes library in order to sync it with the new library.

i have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer. i was told there was a way but not sure how
for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer. -
Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -
I have a new computer and want to bring my bookmarks to the new computer
I just purchased a new computer and am ready to move from the old to the new. How do I get my old bookmarks to the new computer?
Hi,
The easiest way would be to copy the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old folder structure (Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>) and overwrite it in the exact folder structure after installing Firefox in the new PC. This would restore both bookmarks and history from the old profile. Please [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox see this] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox this.]

My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I purchased a new computer and hooked my old hard drive to it through a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my bookmarks from the old hard drive to my new one, but I cannot find where they are. I was unable to determine this from searching articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing but a storage place for files at this point. My old operating system was windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.

To get synced photos from an iPod to a computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

I have a new computer and want to move my Itunes libriarys to this new PC. How do I do this?
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?
The best solution:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above). For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod.

Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. -
I have my iTune library in one computer and want to move it to anoher computer. I can use home-share, but that works only when the original computer is online. So that is really not a solution. My question is how do I move from my old to my new computer? Both these computer have Windows and operating system.
Hello Mettefromswe,
It sounds like you are trying to move your iTunes Library from one computer to another. I recommend following the steps in the article below to transfer your library from your previous computer to your new computer:

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 business. I thought I was supposed to have 2 separate itunes accounts. I now have a work ipad and want to only have 1 itunes account that I can use for all 3 devices. How do I cancel 1 account or just combine the 2?
I want to be able to transfer my apps from my original itunes account that I have on my personal iphone 3 and work ipad 3 to my work iphone 4S ,as well as purchase more more apps for the work iphone with the original itunes account. Plus I need to sync all 3 of them with my work tower computer. I really appreciate you're trying to help me out.

I recently had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my playlists to my new computer
I recently had to buy a new computer and want to move my playlists from my old one. The playlists include both purchased tracks and tracks uploaded from my cd collection. My old os is Windows XP and my new os is Windows 8 if that is of any relevance to a possible solution. I do not have an external hard drive but do have a memory stick if it is possible to load the individual playlists onto it.

Backed up Lightroom 2 to a Seagate 'backup plus'. Will be installing Lightroom 5 to a new Win 7 computer and want to move only the photos to a dedicated 1 tb drive in the machine. Anyone know where my actual photos are stored on 'backup plus'? Thank you
Thank you for your reply. I have been backing up my entire computer and when I follow anything having to do with Lightroom I am not finding actual photos. I hope to find the photos that have been backed up along with updates to them that my wife has been performing during her edits. Found Lightroom 2 catalog Previews/Lrdata. Could that be it?
